Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

At the same time, at the entrance of the alley outside the Jiang family's western-style building, Jiang Nansun looked at Zhang Anren, who was in a somewhat depressed mood. She knew that her father had indeed gone too far today, so she took his hand and apologized:

"Zhang Anren, I'm sorry, my dad really went too far today."

Hearing this, Zhang Anren smiled and replied, "Nansun, it's okay, he didn't do it on purpose, and the stock market suddenly fell, and my uncle is in a bad mood, I can understand him.

No matter what, I finally got my wish to stay in school, which means I'm taking another step towards giving you a future. You've also successfully completed your work in Songjiang, so it's a double blessing!

Looking at the humble and polite Zhang Anren, Jiang Nansun always felt a little unfamiliar. Instead of understating it, she hoped that Zhang Anren would complain and feel distressed, which would be more real. After all, he had obtained this letter of appointment by resorting to various means.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nansun sighed, "Speaking of the Songjiang project, Professor Dong even sent me an invitation today, inviting me to attend tomorrow's unveiling ceremony. Actually, I'm just helping Wang Yongzheng with the project, so I don't do anything special!"

Hearing Jiang Nansun mention the Songjiang Hotel project, Zhang Anren smiled awkwardly and said, "This is what you deserve. Don't forget to take more photos when the time comes. Now take photos next to Professor Dong, but it would be best if you two take a few photos alone. You can attach them to your resume later."

Hearing Zhang Anren say this, Jiang Nansun asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to accompany me to the opening ceremony?"

Zhang Anren hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Nansun and shook his head, saying, "I won't go. After I drop you off tomorrow, I'm going to the train station to pick up a friend, a junior high school classmate of mine. She came to Shanghai alone to work, so I have to play host and have dinner together tonight."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun smiled and asked, "A man or a woman?"

"A woman." After saying that, Zhang Anren chuckled, glanced at Jiang Nansun's expression, and tentatively said, "I was just about to discuss this with you. If you don't mind, can you let her stay at my place for a few days? After all, she just arrived in Shanghai, and it will take her a while to find a suitable place to live."

"It's not appropriate for a girl to live in our future home, right?" After saying that, Jiang Nansun looked at him with a frown.

Seeing this, Zhang Anren hurriedly said, "If you mind, forget it. I'll find her a guesthouse first. I mainly thought about her being a little girl from the countryside who hasn't seen much of the world and is from my hometown, so I wanted her to stay with me. Don't think too much."

Hearing Zhang Anren say this, Jiang Nansun nodded slightly and said, "Why should I think too much? On the contrary, it's your house. If you want her to live there, then go ahead!"

After saying that, she no longer looked at Zhang Anren. This time, Zhang Anren underestimated a woman's intuition. Nansun's alarm bells were already ringing.

Zhang Anren was very tactful and immediately responded, "Nansun, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that she is a girl who has never been to such a big city. It is not safe for her to live outside, so I said that."

Hearing Zhang Anren say this, she also noticed his unnaturalness, so she retreated and said, "I didn't think too much, and I didn't misunderstand. She is so pitiful. If I don't agree, wouldn't it be too unkind."

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhang Anren calmly changed the subject and said, "My Princess Jiang is the most generous, how could she be so unkind? It's my fault. I said something I shouldn't have said!"

After that, he didn't wait for Jiang Nansun to respond and continued to explain: "My junior high school classmate is called Yuan Yuan. Although we have known each other since childhood, I just treat her like a younger sister. We have no contact since we went to college."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun just nodded and smiled, "You don't need to explain, I know. Tomorrow you can drop me off at Songjiang Hotel and then go back to work. I'll come find you after I'm done here!"

Seeing Jiang Nansun's smile, Zhang Anren breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "Okay, then I'll pick you up at Binjiang Yipin tomorrow. Goodbye!"

"Well, see you tomorrow. Drive slowly and be safe on the road!"

Jiang Nansun nodded and watched Zhang Anren get into the car. If it were her previous self, she would certainly not agree to have another woman in Zhang Anren's house, even if it was classmate Lao Zhang or someone else.

But ever since Zhang Anren lied about the yearbook issue and later reported Wang Yongzheng, and didn't think he was wrong, there has been a gap in the relationship between the two.

Of course, the fact that a cautious person like Zhang Anren actually let this classmate from his hometown live in his house aroused her competitive spirit. So she remained calm on the surface, but she already had a plan in her mind, which was to find out what kind of relationship between Yuan Yuan and Zhang Anren was that made him risk being misunderstood and suggest living in her house.

Chapter 281 The final madness

After seeing Zhang Anren off, Jiang Nansun and the others came back and met Han Tao at the door. After a brief conversation, the clever Zhu Suosuo took Dai Yin to continue walking, while Han Tao went to the car to make a phone call.

Back in the living room, Jiang Nansun looked at Jiang Pengfei, who was full of doubts, and asked directly, "Dad, your stocks are stuck again, right?

Besides, our family is bankrupt, right? Did you borrow money from others to invest in stocks? How much did you borrow in total?

The four consecutive questions from the soul made Jiang Pengfei stunned for a moment, and then he became nervous.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down. Grandma is old, don't let her hear you. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it aside!"

After saying that, Jiang Pengfei hurriedly looked upstairs and found that there was no movement in his mother's room, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was panicked just now. He didn't expect his daughter Jiang Nansun to ask him this question, so he thought that the mortgage of his house had been exposed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Pengfei pulled his daughter Jiang Nansun aside and asked in a low voice, "Nansun, who told you about my loan sharking? They actually broke their promise and came to you before the due date?"

"You actually borrowed money from a loan shark?"

Seeing her father confess without being asked, and that he had borrowed money at high interest rates, Jiang Nansun said anxiously, "It was Suosuo who told me that your stocks might be stuck and that you had added leverage. I didn't expect you to even borrow money at high interest rates. Are you trying to kill my family?"

Hearing that it was Zhu Suosuo who said that, Jiang Pengfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't his creditor coming to his door, it would be fine.

As for the reason why his daughter wanted to talk to him, he had already guessed the reason. It must be that after Han Tao learned about the stock market crash, he asked Suosuo to tell his daughter Jiang Nansun to remind him.

Thinking of this, he secretly felt fortunate that he had lowered his stance and begged Han Tao today, and he had agreed to help him. So the matter of mortgaging the house would not be leaked for a while.

However, Jiang Pengfei has not yet decided whether to listen to Han Tao and sell as soon as the stock market opens, or to wait and see. Anyway, with Han Tao's backing, once the luck turns and the stock market makes a short adjustment and then rises again, he can turn things around.

At that time, there would be no need to sacrifice my daughter's happiness. Although Han Tao did have a good home, it was nothing compared to having it myself. It was most reassuring to have money in my own pocket.

Seeing her father Jiang Pengfei in a daze, Jiang Nansun felt the seriousness of the situation more and more, so she hurriedly urged: "Dad, how much high-interest loan did you borrow?

Only by speaking out can we discuss a solution as a family. Don't hide it anymore. When the stock market reopens, you should sell all your stocks.

Don't worry about whether the price will go up again, just pay off the high-interest loan first. At worst, we can just save some money in the future!"

When Jiang Pengfei heard his daughter Jiang Nansun ask him to sell stocks, he was a little shaken, but he still held on to a lucky mentality, because he still hoped that the market would rebound and make up for the previous losses and the high-interest loans he borrowed this time.

If I really sell it at the opening, it will only be enough to pay off the loan sharks. That is to say, there is a chance to clear the inventory, but there is still a deficit of 18 million borrowed from friends. How can I pay it back?

If he were to sacrifice his daughter's future for a mere ten million, it would not be worth it. Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would not be able to face his mother and wife.

Thinking of this, Jiang Pengfei quickly looked at his daughter and said, "Don't worry, I will stop before it's too late. As soon as the stock market opens, I will start to liquidate my stocks. But Dad bought too much, you have to give Dad some time.

By the way, if the stock market opens with consecutive limit-down drops, there might not even be a chance to sell. You must help Dad then. Han Tao won't ignore it for the sake of you and Suosuo."

Hearing her father's words, Jiang Nansun nodded. She didn't know yet that this time the compensation would be different from the previous ones. But when she thought about asking Suosuo and Han Tao for help, her expression became complicated.

"You should sell as many stocks as possible to pay off the debt. It's such a large sum of money, and Suosuo hasn't married Han Tao yet. I don't want to put her in a difficult position.

Of course, if you really can't get rid of it, then I will find a way, but you can't take risks anymore, otherwise our family will be really finished.

For so many years, you stayed at home every day to trade stocks. Grandma's more than ten houses, antique vases, gold bars and jades were all sold out, and we never stopped you.

Now this is the only house left in our family. Grandma even gave you the money for her coffin. She loves you. I hope you won't betray her trust. I also hope you can completely leave the stock market. We don't ask for great wealth, we just want our family to be safe and sound.

This was the first time that his daughter Jiang Nansun spoke to him so earnestly. He thought that he had indeed lived a bit ridiculously in recent years. The family assets were enough for two generations to not have to worry about money.

Unfortunately, I was too greedy and devoted myself to the stock market, which eventually led to the current situation. But it was too late to regret. I didn't even know that I could lose the only remaining ancestral home in my family.

Sighing again, Jiang Pengfei looked at his daughter Jiang Nansun and pleaded, "Nansun, Dad knows. I promise you that I will leave the stock market after it opens, stay with you all, and then give you a grand wedding.

But before that, please don’t tell your mom and grandma about the fact that I borrowed money from a loan shark. I don’t want them to worry too.

Especially grandma, she is old and has been strong all her life. If she knew that I borrowed money from loan sharks, she would definitely not be able to bear it, so you must promise dad to keep this secret for me! "

Seeing her father's sincere words, Jiang Nansun felt that he must be truly repentant. However, considering his previous obsession, she couldn't help but warn him again:

"Suosuo heard from Han Tao that there might be a short-term rebound after the stock market reopens, but the stock market's listing and trading system itself has serious flaws, which has led to rampant speculation, excessive leverage and off-market financing, so these funds will leave the market as soon as possible, and the market will plummet again.

So don't hesitate, and don't rely on luck. Sell the stocks promptly and return them to the loan shark. We can pay back the rest slowly. If all else fails, I still have this house. I can move to a smaller one, and the remaining tens of millions will be more than enough. The most important thing is that our family is happy."

Hearing his daughter talking about selling the house, Jiang Pengfei shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Dad knows what he's doing. I'm going to buy you a big house in the city as your wedding house. How can I take such a risk?"

Besides, our family will never sell the house no matter what, and we can’t sell it. This is our family’s last dignity and grandma’s last resort.”

After hearing what her father said, Jiang Nansun knew that he cared about her grandmother very much and was very filial, so she felt relieved and nodded.

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you, but you have to remember what you said. Sell all your stocks quickly and pay back the loan sharks. Then stay with grandma peacefully from now on and don't speculate in stocks anymore."

Jiang Pengfei nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "I understand. I promise to clear out the stocks as soon as possible. Don't worry!"

"I hope so. Then I'll go back with Suosuo and the others!"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun looked at her smiling father again and finally put down the big stone in her heart.

Seeing his daughter Jiang Nansun nod, he knew that she still cared about him, so Jiang Pengfei thought about the day when he would hit her, and hurriedly said:

"Nansun, if Daddy does something wrong someday, I shouldn't hit you. But what Daddy wants to tell you is that no one in this world is perfect. I'm not, your mother isn't, and neither is your grandmother.

So, in a family, it is not all good, nor all bad. Sometimes we cannot even overcome our own shortcomings, so we have neglected to take care of you. I am sorry.

Sometimes you may not understand what Dad does, but Dad can pat his chest and say, I love you, and I sincerely hope that you can live a good life in the future."

As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter Jiang Nansun, who had tears in her eyes, and handed her a tissue with a smile, and continued:

“You, your mom, and your grandma are the three most important women in my life, and I will always love you.

Grandma's birthday is in two days. Remember to come back and stay for one night. Also, bring Suosuo and Xiaohan with you. Dad will book a big hotel for us to have a good family gathering together."

"Okay, I got it. I'll be back on grandma's birthday. It's getting late. You, mom, and grandma should go to bed early. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun wiped the corners of her eyes and walked out, her steps becoming much lighter.

Looking at his daughter's back, Jiang Pengfei smiled. For himself, for his family, and for the future happiness of his daughter Jiang Nansun, he became more determined to catch the next rebound and make up for the previous losses.

The stock market is like this, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. He believes that he will not always be so unlucky and will definitely seize an opportunity to make a fortune.

By then, I can pay back the tens of millions of high-interest loans and regular loans I borrowed, and maybe even have tens of millions left. Then I can leave the stock market peacefully and live a good life with my family.

Chapter 282 Yuan Yuan is online

The Magic City, shrouded in darkness, is already ablaze with lights. Unlike the hustle and bustle and intellectual rationality of the day, the Magic City at night is full of charm.

A gentle breeze blows along the banks of the Huangpu River. Architectural buildings from all over the world have different styles. The skyscrapers of Lujiazui reflect their graceful beauty on the surface of the river, and the veil of "Night Shanghai" is slowly lifted.

On the road from Fuxing Road to Binjiang Yipin, in the back seat of a black BMW 7 Series, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, the nation's best friends, were whispering about Zhang Anren's plan to take in a fellow villager to live in his home.

Because Zhu Suosuo is the person who cares about her the most, Jiang Nansun really wants to hear Zhu Suosuo's opinion at this time.

After she finished her statement, Zhu Suosuo exploded without any hesitation. She looked at Jiang Nansun and said loudly:

"No, what are you thinking, Nansun, how could you agree to such an unreasonable request?

The same thing happened to Zhang Anren. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? There are so many hotels on the street, why should someone from my hometown stay at his place, and a woman at that!

If I remember correctly, you haven't lived in Sanlin's house once since it was renovated!"

Jiang Nansun heard that Zhu Suosuo had a strong opinion, and knew that she was worried about herself, so she explained:

"Suosuo, listen to me first. I think it should be okay. After all, she is Zhang Anren's classmate. We can't let her, a little girl, live outside. It's unsafe.

Besides, the people Zhang Anren knows are classmates from his hometown, and they are probably the same as when he first came to Shanghai, all very simple and honest, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Seeing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhu Suosuo said anxiously: "Are you stupid? You think she will be a simple person before she even shows up. It's easy to imagine that this kind of person is the easiest to let you down.

Think about it, when did Zhang Anren ever have a friend? Now all of a sudden a junior high school classmate appears, and she's a girl, which makes people very suspicious.

And when have you ever seen Zhang Anren show such concern for other women besides you? There is something wrong here, right? If you don't believe me, ask Brother Han, will he get a female classmate to live in our house? "

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo looked at Han Tao. Jiang Nansun also stared at Han Tao and asked, "Han Tao, you've experienced more things and come into contact with more people than Suosuo and I, so please help me analyze this. If someone from your hometown came, would you let her live in your home?"

Hearing this, Han Tao turned around and glanced at the two of them, then smiled and said, "Actually, this question isn't that complicated. No one can avoid people coming from our hometown. The main thing is to see who they are and what their relationship is to me."

"You heard what Suosuo and I said. We're just classmates."

"If it's a classmate, regardless of gender, I will book a hotel for her, or even rent a house for her, but she cannot live in my home.

Because only family members can live in my house. If it's my sister or younger sister, whether biological or cousin, she can move in if Suosuo agrees. Brothers must stay in a hotel or at my other residence. This is the most basic rule and also etiquette."

Jiang Nansun looked at Han Tao in surprise and asked in confusion, "Isn't that contradictory? Then why did you agree to let me live in your and Suosuo's house? Besides, my mother also lived there. We are not your relatives."

Han Tao shook his head and said, "There is a difference. You are Suosuo's best friend, and she invited you to live with her, so I agreed.

The reason we agreed to let your aunt move in was because she is the elder, and the elder to you and Suosuo. To Suosuo, besides her father and uncle and aunt, you are her only relatives.

Besides, I didn't go back to Binjiang Yipin the day you and Auntie moved in. After that, I only spent the night at home symbolically. This was to avoid suspicion, and it was also a rule and courtesy."

After saying that, Han Tao turned around and glanced at Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo before continuing, "As for the question of Zhang Anren taking in female classmates, I don't know the exact relationship between them, so I can't make any conclusions."

After hearing what Han Tao said, Jiang Nansun became more certain of her thoughts, so she continued to ask:

"Then you can always make some inferences, what do you think their relationship is?"

"Why would Brother Han need to make inferences? He always insists on evidence when he speaks. Let me analyze it for you."

As she spoke, Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes at her bestie Jiang Nansun, then went straight to the point and said, "I think Zhang Anren and this Yuanyuan are still in the same circle, not just ordinary classmates.

Think about it, it has been more than ten years since junior high school, and they are still in contact. Do you think this is a simple matter?

Another point: with so many people from Zhang Anren's hometown coming to Shanghai, why didn't anyone else contact him? Instead, this so-called junior high school classmate contacted Zhang Anren, and Zhang Anren even planned to let her live at his home.

Jiang Nansun nodded, then said thoughtfully: "But if they really have a special relationship, shouldn't Zhang Anren be more afraid that I will find out? Why would he even ask to live at my house?

Of course, this is just speculation, but I will think carefully about what he said, and I will learn more about it when we meet tomorrow.

This is also a test for Zhang Anren. If he passes, we can consider getting married. If he fails, it means he has deceived me. If he can't explain it clearly, then we should break up. "

When Zhu Suosuo heard Jiang Nansun say this, she said worriedly, "I'll go with you tomorrow to take a look. If it doesn't work out, let her live with us!"
